Is it possible to create a flat terrain in Java Monkey Engine?

Question

As a beginner using the JME engine, I was wondering whether it is possible to create flat terrain?

I have played with the TerrainBlock and created a somewhat bumpy terrain using MidPointHeightMap, but can't seem to get it perfectly flat.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can create a primitive plane, using a Quad shape.

This is always perfectly flat. You can use other techniques for texturing. Also note: the Z-height of this Quad is always 0. (It's really flat!)
